Mojo's gone blue! (still green on the inside)

[Mojo67]

Its finally here! Been searching for one of these for months. I found 3. One was in Melbourne, they wanted $11500 for it. One was in Sydney. Passed the KSRC inspection (thanks guys) but he wanted $8500 for it unregistered plus shipping and no rack.

This beastie was in Rocky, and Sully found it for me on Bikesales. It had been there for a while (still is I think) but when I rang up the guy had sold it to a dealer up there. Got it from the dealer for $9K registered and shipped, with a ventura rack and bag included.

Its done 24K kms, needs new rubber but mechanically its sweet. Its definitely got a Kawasaki gearbox, strong and clunky. I've gone soft with a soft VFR gearbox for the past few months. Only problem with it is that it has been down on the left side, and the dealer plastic welded the pairing, stripping the paint half an inch either side of the crack. So its got an ugly black strip on the left with no paint, but there's no other damage. I'll get that fixed at some point, not urgent.

Its got a rear cowl, it looks great but I'll need to find a rear seat for it. Anyone have one for sale? I'll head to the wreckers I guess.

Power? This thing is a WEAPON! Again I've been lounging around on the VFR, but its got a lot more go than the old 9 as well. Handling is very similar to the old 9, which I have missed badly. Can't wait to hit the twisties with it. The Metzlers on it are roadworthy but about stuffed, so a new set of Bridgies is on the agenda.

See you out on the road sometime soon.

Good to see, mate. Congratulations!

If the handling's similar to the old 9, it needs sorting.

Great stuff Dave, thats a nice lookin' scooter.......

[dave#3]

Nice find Dave, I hope it was worth the wait ... did I mention I love that colour scheme on the 9r, just like my old one.

[Mojo67]

Worth the wait, love the colour. I did mention the power right? Its unbelievable.

Had the kids last weekend, and its pissing down rain here, so I haven't done much on it yet. Looking forward to the weekend when it fines up!

Some good news today. Spoke to the dealer, she was horrified when she saw the pics of the plastic weld on the left side. She sent it off to get the crack fixed, fixed, but didn't see it again before it went on the truck. Didn't realise that it wasn't painted. She's agreed to pay for it to get fixed. Big relief!
